Country Casanova is the third album by American rock band Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. It was released in 1973 on Paramount Records.
The album was originally available on LP and 8-track, and later cassette. In 1991, it was released on CD.
Country Casanova is highlighted by the band's classic cover version of "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)." "Everybody's Doin' It" is a revised cover of "Everybody's Truckin'", a 1937 song by the Texas Western swing band The Modern Mountaineers. It, too included "fuckin'" in the lyric, a trick pulled by pianist-vocalist Smokey Wood. Commander Cody copied the original arrangement at a slightly faster tempo and removed the original's reference to "darkies." The cover reportedly got Commander Cody banned from some country music stations because it includes the word "fuckin'" repeated several times, band leader George Frayne claimed in the liner notes of Too Much Fun: The Best of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.
